covids
SayKOH-vidzUS/ˈkoʊvɪdz/UK/ˈkəʊvɪdz/AUS/ˈkɐʉvədz/
- 1Plural of covid. Rare and informal.
Note
A plural that strains against its singular. As the name of the disease, covid is normally a mass noun, so covids reads as counting separate cases or bouts. That casual usage is best kept out of formal writing. The plural sits more comfortably on an older, archaic covid meaning a cubit, the unit of length, where three covids is as ordinary as three feet.
